Jilin police said they had detained a 55-year-old suspect “who collided with a foreign national while walking in Beishan Park,” Chinese state media reported.
The suspect then “attacked this foreign national and three other accompanying foreign nationals with a knife, as well as a Chinese tourist who attempted to stop him,” said police.
The 4 instructors were sent by Iowa’s Cornell College, which has cooperated with Beihua University since 2018.
